Chapter 420: 298, Absolute Gun Feel_2
“She does look quite young, but I call her aunt because her ten-year-old daughter calls brother, so I call her aunt,” Qing Chen casually explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zimo’s lips curved slightly upward, but she quickly realized that wasn’t right and pursed her lips to hide her reaction from Qing Chen.
Just at that mont, the business van suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yayu said with a laugh, “I’m just loading up so local products and then I’ll be on my way.”
As he spoke, he opened the trunk, and through the rearview mirror inside the car, Qing Chen saw two silent young n placing a black box into the trunk.
However, Qing Chen’s wheelchair was already in the trunk, leaving no room for the black box to fit.
...
Zhao Yayu glanced inside the car, then, while no one was paying attention, quietly removed the wheelchair and tossed it aside.
He signaled to the two young n with a look, prompting them to lift the box into the trunk.
Qing Chen glanced at Zhou Xuanying but realized he was busying himself with his phone, seemingly unaware of what was happening behind him.
Once the trunk was shut, Zhao Yayu put on a friendly smile and got back into the van, “Sorry for the delay. We’re heading to the highway now and we’ll be ho soon.”
The business van sped off, racing into the night.
Xu Zimo asked Qing Chen, “How did you solve the second question?”
“With calculus,” Qing Chen responded calmly.
“You’ve self-studied calculus as well?” Xu Zimo was astonished. “Your thought process for solving the problem is the sa as mine.”
Xia Xiaoran felt sothing was odd, “What did you choose for the first question?”
“E, the answer is five-sixths,” Qing Chen replied without hesitation.
“And the second question?” Wang Jiale asked.
Qing Chen, “C, 30.”
“What about the third question?”
“A, -1.”
“And the fifth question?”
“C, 18.”
“Wait a second, Zhou Xuanying said you didn’t even use scratch paper,” Wang Jiale exclaid in shock. “How did you manage to solve them all?”
Zhou Xuanying, who was caught talking behind soone’s back, seed a bit uncomfortable, “I just ntioned it offhand, worried that Qing Chen might not have done well.”
Although he said that, Zhou Xuanying himself was also puzzled; he had personally witnessed Qing Chen ‘pray’ his way through the test, which made him the most surprised of all.
However, Zhou Xuanying soon figured it out. By 3 p.m., training institutions had already published the AMC 10 questions and answers, so it was normal for Qing Chen to have seen them online.
Otherwise, everyone else had to look at the test paper again to rember what the fifth question was, so how could Qing Chen answer effortlessly?
During their conversation, the Toyota Alphard business van had been on the highway for an hour when Zhou Xuanying, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at Qing Chen and asked nonchalantly, “Qing Chen, you saw the problems online, didn’t you?”
However, Qing Chen ignored him and instead asked the driver, Zhao Yayu, “Driver, why did you throw away my wheelchair back in Xian City?”
Zhao Yayu was taken aback for a mont, then laughed, “Classmate, what are you talking about? I didn’t throw away your wheelchair. You just can’t see it from your angle.”
Qing Chen gave a weak smile but didn’t press the issue, “The thing in the trunk, it’s not so local product, is it?”
It must be said, the Taboo ACE-005 is extrely useful for feigning illness, just making oneself appear pale, with sunken eyes and hollow cheeks was enough; no matter the expression Qing Chen made, he looked very weak.
And there was no fear of being exposed.
One glance would convince anyone that Qing Chen was genuinely injured.
Zhao Yayu was silent for a mont, then said calmly, “It’s just local produce.”
No sooner had he spoken than a thudding sound ca from the black box in the back.
There was also a muffled whimpering sound, as if soone had their mouth blocked and was making a plea for help.
Everyone in the car was stunned.
Local produce doesn’t make that kind of noise.
Zhao Yayu explained blandly, “This is a wild boar that soone hit on the head and asked to bring back to Los Angeles City. Looks like it wasn’t killed outright.”
Xu Zimo said sternly, “There’s no way that’s a wild boar, you’re lying.”
Qing Chen laughed, “You’re lying, there’s a person in there.”
Zhou Xuanying in the passenger seat hesitated for a mont and then demanded, “What exactly is in that box?!”
The next mont, the person in the box sohow freed their mouth from its restraints and began shouting inside the box, “Help! I’m being kidnapped!”
Zhao Yayu glanced at Zhou Xuanying, “Shut up and ssage the boss that an accident has occurred.”
Zhao Yayu now felt very uneasy because the injured man sitting behind him seed to know too much. This made him panic and seek assistance.
Zhou Xuanying glanced nervously at Xu Zimo in the back seat, whispering, “You promised not to reveal my identity!”
“I told you to ssage the boss,” Zhao Yayu said coldly.
“I won’t,” Zhou Xuanying beca frantic, “You only asked to provide a vehicle by making a call to my dad, you didn’t ntion kidnapping soone back to Los Angeles City.”
Zhao Yayu pulled out a gun from under his arm, driving with one hand while pointing the gun at Zhou Xuanying with a sneer, “Send it. Even if I don’t kill you now, do you think you can survive once you’re back in the Inner World? If you fail this mission, we all die.”
Only at that mont did the other students in the car realize that Zhou Xuanying was also a Ti Traveler.
